Ike, the man, was beautiful, beguiling, and artistic. He led a hedonistic life in 1980s New York, which came at a cost to him and his roommate, Jerry, who, like everyone, is besotted by Ike.

Two decades later, Saint Ike, the myth, offers his nephew, Andy, a blueprint for escaping his crushing modern life.

The only thing that stands in Andy’s way is Jerry, who is determined, again, to save someone he loves from an uncertain future, and in doing so, finds a way to rid himself of his haunted past.
